Happy coming out day; although us natives like to call it "becoming" rather than "coming out" cuz we are always moving toward who we are in in multiple ways, from infant to elder, from partnered to nonpartnered (or multiple partnered), childless to parenting as a bio parent or auntie/uncle, to name a few transitions--and from one gender to the next. we all have every right to be anyone we want to be, do it in a goot way people.
